"Ndutu Safari Lodge review"
We loved the feel of the place and it appears to have deliberately tried to keep the old fashioned lodge feel, whilst maintaining a good level of service provision.
The food was good quality, from a set menu, albeit there was alittle flexibility if you chose. Staff were friendly and efficient. The Dining area and reception looks straight out onto the bush, with views down towards the lake in the distance.
The accommodation is basic but clean, with a comfortable bed plus mosquito nets. Power is generator delivered and is switched off at about 11 until 5 am. Not a time we'd expect to be awake, so no great issue at all.
My only suggestion would be the addition of an overhead fan, although it would lose power at 11pm. The windows allowed a bug free breeze, so not really a problem for us. It might be hotter at different times of the year
The Manager was really friendly and knew our guide too. We enjoyed the contrast of the place with the 'camping'. and left a little entranced actually. It had a nice feel about it.
Game in the surrounding area was limited due to lack of grazing animals, but we did see plenty of bird life and elephants as we headed through it, en route to the Serengeti" See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar

"Ndutu Safari Lodge comments"
The staff were great, the food good, the location was beautiful. Cabins are well maintained and comfortable. They were very efficient in seating and serving people. It seemed to be a very well run establishment.
I had a minor issue with the wifi connection (which in hindsight seemed beyond trivial to even bring it to their attention) and they contacted me quickly about my issue." See all these reviews: 4n in Tanzania

"Wonderful safari at Ndutu Lodge"
Altogether just my cup of tie. i don't know if this is where you'd like me to mention our guide but Harry absolutely made the holiday and I'm sure we saw more than most people. He drove miles to catch up with the migrating wildebeest and I think we only had breakfast once at the lodge. Otherwise we were on the go all day taking out a picnic breakfast or lunch every day. He was also very knowledgeable about everything and told us many fascinating stories." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania
